Preferred Solution:
Acer Aspire E1-431 Keyboard is not working at all (All key).

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

Try using the keyboard on another computer and see if it works. If it's a USB keyboard, you should be able to use it on your father's laptop. If NO keys work on EITHER computer, the laptop is most likely ready for the garbage dump. I suppose you could try opening it up and cleaning it, but if it's not a very expensive keyboard I wouldn't even bother. Just replace it.

I can use the keyboard when starting in safe mode but not when windows starts??? The Tried reinstalling the driver but didn't work

Answer:Acer Aspire keyboard is not working

When Safe Mode works properly but Normal Mode does not, it typically means that a driver or some software has just been installed that is interfering with Normal Mode.The types of software that can do that are drivers, antivirus products, third-party firewall products, CD/DVD burning software or virtual CD/DVD software.If you can remember installing anything like that, uninstall it in Safe Mode then restart.

I took some of the keys out of my keyboard to clean under them. Powered my laptop back on and the keyboard does not work. Tried using the pinhole 3 times, but no avail. Please help. I cannot get onto my laptop, as I cannot type in the password.

Can someone please help. ? I replaced a motherboard on my laptop, the keyboard and mouse pad don't work now. when i turn on the laptop I could use the keyboard to go to the BIOS and it works no problem, but when i save and exit from the BIOS nothing works, I have to use a keyboard and mouse connected to the USB to have work on windows.yesterday I reformatted the laptop thinking it might work but nothing...I unplugged and plugged back in and nothing, but i don't think there is a problem with the connection otherwise it wouldn't work when i want to use the BIOSboard # PEW71 LA-6582P REV. 1.0LAPTOP MODEL # ASPIRE 5742Z

I'm pretty sure my Aspire PS-131 is an All In One rather than a notebook. Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place. This morning, seemingly all of a sudden, my PS-131's bluetooth keyboard stopped working. I charged it until the light turned blue, but the tablet no longer registers the keyboard on the Bluetooth screen. Sometimes an Unknown device will appear on the bluetooth screen, but I can't connect to it. I have no idea what to do and I can't find anything online about it. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone else have an idea about where to begin? I've tried contacting Acer's live chat, but the serial number on my tablet isn't verifiable.

Have you tried this: 1. Shut down your laptop2. Disconnect the AC adapter3. Wait few minutes4. Follow this procedureThe battery reset pinhole is located on the bottom of the laptop and marked with this symbol .

(i'm going to try and explain this the best i can)My Acer Aspire E15 laptop's keyboard has stopped working so I'm typing this with an external keyboard. I've only had this laptop it for a little over a year and having the keyboard just stop working is very dissapointing and a little frustrating. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any possibility of getting this repaired, because I've been informed that the keyboards of these laptops are connected to the motherboard in a way that would require getting a whole new motherboard just to replace the keyboard. I don't know if this is true or if there is anyway to repair my keyboard without replacing the whole **bleep** motherboard, so if anyone knows it would be awesome if you could help me out.

Answer:Acer Aspire E15 keyboard not working?

Not sure where they got that info. However you can replace the keyboard. That does take some doing. But I think a person would most likely replace the whole top part. That is track pad and all. I would say look on eBay for you type and see if they have any.When you take apart you remove power, battery, 14 or 16 screws from the bottom. Remove drive from the bay. Use old credit card to separate the 2 half. Then there is some ribbon cables that would need to be removed carefully. If you got the whole thing. Then put in New one same way you took out old. However if you just got the keyboard you will bee to take out 8 to 10 more screws peeling tape from the ribbon cables and to access the small screws then the keyboard can be removed. For me I would try and find whole top plate would be less work.James

i was using my laptop and it was working fine then I closed the lid for 15mins to do something and it went to sleep when I opened it back up the keyboard wouldn't work at all. I've tryed all the buttons the only one that works is the power button.I tryed googling but none of the solutions work for me. (I used the on screen keyboard to log in)... My laptop is still fairly new I Don't understand why the keyboard suddenly won't work.

Hi,If you have an internal battery, disconnect the mains and do a battery reset, only once please and leave the laptop to rest for a while, reconnect and try starting.https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34843/~/acer-internal-battery-reset

I just recently encountered a problem with my Acer Aspire E3-112 notebook keyboard that I had been able to fix and would like to share the solution with anyone who may encounter the same problem. I had used a USB flash drive to copy some files without any issues. Shortly afterwards, I noticed that the 8 key on the keyboard had stopped responding, but all other keys worked as normal. I had pressed Fn-F11 (NumLk) and the 8 key started working again. Pressing Fn-F11 again disabled the NumLk mode, and the 8 key also stopped working again. I tried rebooting the notebook, shutting down and powering back up, reinstalling keyboard driver, etc, but nothing worked. To rule out Windows OS related settings, I rebooted into BIOS, and noticed that the 8 key still didn't work when I tried to change the time, but the other number keys worked fine. The solution that finally solved the problem was to shut down the notebook, and then using a paper clip, push it into the Batery reset pinhole on the bottom of the notebook for four seconds. Upon normal powerup, the 8 key started working again. If your notebook has a removable battery, then removing and reinstalling the battery might have the same effect.

If it were me, I'd try the K/B on another computer. If it works, then you know the K/B is good and the issue must be the computer it's presently connected to. This would mean the issue is likely software(drivers). You might want to check the manufacturer's website and see if there are newer Windows 7 drivers for the device. If there are, download and install them and reboot and see if your K/B doesn't work then.It matters not how straight the gate,How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate;I am the captain of my soul.***William Henley***

So at first i thought it my keyboard wasn't being seen by windows 10. but sometimes after holding the bluetooth button an unknown device appears that appears to be my keyboard. yet when i type in the connection code it doesn't respond and then the device no longer is showing. It could just be another bluetooth device though; i live in a dorm so there's many other people with bluetooth devices in the area. I checked out this: https://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30072/~/how-to-pair-the-acer-bluetooth-keyboar... but it only applies to 8 and 8.1, not 10. Perhaps acer should release a driver update for windows 10 early adopters that fixes their keyboard to work with windows 10, unless there is a simple bug fix?

There is, however, I highly doubt a standard user would ever want to do this. And you will 100% break your warranty, and quite possibly break your computer trying to replace it. It is your own responcibility if you do it. It is not user friendly to implement. But if you really want to risk everything, you can find the part online, but your risk. If you want, you can wait for a ACE member to answer your question.

I have a friends laptop I offered to help fix.
I don't remember the exact model, but it's an Acer Aspire One. Small older computer.

For whatever reason the keyboard stopped working properly. I disabled the keyboard drivers and they updated when the computer restarted. that didn't help. I also tried a side keyboard, that doesn't work well either. i did the number lock function fn+11, that doesn't work. The keyboard works some times and most the time it doesn't.

I went into the keyboard setting and tried resting it there and I went into the bios to see if anything was disabled, but everything was okay. i went even further, I unhook the keyboard from the laptop and tried using the side keyboard again and same problem. some times the computer starts acting weird. I go into the Internet(pretty much anything that has to do with typing) random numbers and letters start typing with the laptop keyboard and my side keyboard.

What can I do to fix it? I tried everything, I'm not sure if it's fixable. if i missed something ill reply as soon as i can.

Answer:Acer Aspire One Keyboard failed

Those can be really hard to fix. Youtube might have tear apart guides. But its better to just hook up a bluetooth or usb keyboard to it.

Hi GuysI own an acer aspire one v5-121 netbook ( 1 Ghz Amd Dual Core , 2 Gigs Ram , 500 GB HDD , 11.6" ) .Some of the keys on the netbook are malfunctioning . For example , pressing "Down Arrow" shows the digit "1" . So basically , one cannot move down a list of items in windows explorer using the down arrow - and it remains the same in all kinds of application - in the browser , while playing games etc . Simlarly other keys like "Delete" and "Insert" are also malfunctioning . Another key that is working in an undesirable manner is the "Q" key . Whenever I use the Q key , for eg. in microsoft word , this "q" alphabet jumps to the starting position of the word which I were typing . So all this makes the netbook almost un-usable for academic needs & beats my purpose . Hope I can find the right solution to this problem here . THANKS IN ADVANCE

I have had a problem with my aspire R14 laptop since first getting it a month ago. When I press a key in a certain are of the keyboard the whole keyboard bounces up and down. The problems is most noticible on the 7,8,9,u,i,o keys and is less noticible on the keys around those keys. It is hard to type because those keys respond differently. If I press down on the laptop case above the keyboard all those keys respond just like the other keys. So I think the problem is that the keyboard and/or case are not secured well in that area. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Sadly I don't equate the quality of my Acer Computer by the Keybaord.... Sadly I don't use mine from any of the machines I own besides the ones on the Laptops then I have to. But seeing even then I have had to buy new ones for them as well. In my case first key to go in my Laptops is the F12 and I don't even use them LOL then the next one is the Right Arrow key lol..... Anyway I would say do like I do, Only use the Keyboard as a backup... Mine are in the box the computer came with if one of the ones I bought from the store stop working... Only to give me enough time to Buy another one from the store..... Infact there are some Keyboard on the Bay where you can buy like 50 of them at a time LOL I know what would you need 50 for I am just saying.... I like the Microsoft Keyboard 4000 myself.. I have some older Microsoft keyboards as well. The 4000 is my fav anyway..... James

Ok so I regularly play video games and work on this laptop but for a while when ever I hold the w key and release it the key would still act as if it is being pushed down and would not stop holding itself down. This also happens when I switch tabs and when that happens the w key becomes unresponsive for a while then it is able to be used a couple seconds/minute later. I am not having luck with cleaning the keyboard since there is no space at all to stick a spray in to remove dust or a way I know of to remove the covers of the keyboard but all my other keys are good.

I have an Acer Aspire One notebook. Two months ago I very stupidly spilled my cider onto my Acer, like a ninja I immediatley turned it upside down to dry out, I havent touched it untill this week.
It starts up, makes a high pitched noise until the windows start up, then shuts up. Key board not working very good, hit and miss as to whether keys work.
I plugged in another keyboard and this has been working until now.
I've tried re-booting but this has not done anything.
Now if I do manage to open anything, I cant do anymore than that, the mouse is working ok.
Is there anything I could do or should I just bin it.

One thing I can say, is the Sony Vaio has a very nice rubberized keyboard.

IF you are capable, I would take it apart, and THOROUGHLY clean it.

Other thing that bears mentioning, if it is possible to pull the battery from your laptop/netbook, pull it IMMEDIATELY should you spill any liquids on it.

Answer:acer aspire one keyboard settings help :)

XP .. hmm yes there is.

You have installed XP without chaning the language and keyboard layout. Your keyboard is currently set to US layout (@ key = " key and vice versa).

You can set it to UK layout by going to the control panel > click switch to classic view > region language options > click language tab > under text services and input languages click the details button > under installed services click add

Ok so I regularly play video games and work on this laptop but for a while when ever I hold the w key and release it the key would still act as if it is being pushed down and would not stop holding itself down. This also happens when I switch tabs and when that happens the w key becomes unresponsive for a while then it is able to be used a couple seconds/minute later. I am not having luck with cleaning the keyboard since there is no space at all to stick a spray in to remove dust or a way I know of to remove the covers of the keyboard but all my other keys are good.

Answer:Keyboard unresponsive Acer aspire V3-571

Hi Th3da,

Unless you can feel that the key is sticky, I don't know that there is much room to clean and the design is mean to keep stuff from getting in.

If the W key is just occassionally not being recognized, it may be an issue with the contact and the KB may need to be replaced.

Hello, I wanted to share a problem and a solution with the Acer Aspire V3-771G keyboard. If you try to update all of your drivers to windows 8.1, your keyboard will not work Solution: Download all of the windows 8 touch pad drivers

So, when I try to use the keyboard to type, the text input will freeze. It refuses to process my typing onto the screen for a few seconds, and then releases, and then freezes again; it goes on and off like this the entire time i try to type (This includes typing in a word document, typing into google, etc). The screen itself won't freeze, and everything else seems to be working fine, including the on-screen keyboard. The trackpad will freeze with the keyboard as well when this happens. Sometimes a little notification in the top left corner of my screen appears stating that the screen rotation is on, but not always. I think this means that when I type the computer gets confused, or something shakes inside, that throws off the alignment and thinks that I have rotated the screen in tablet mode mor something... I have tried updating the drivers in my computer, and I have tried locking the computer screen as a landscape to prevent the notification, but it still freezes the keyboard. Does anyone know what to do with this!? I can't do any of my homework with the keyboard constantly glitching on me...

I got the Aspire R13 (317T) a couple of days ago, and while I am really enjoying it there's a couple of problems with the keyboard. The first is that is there any way to completely disable the backlight on the keyboard? I'm tired of having to manually use the function keys to turn if off every time I open the lid. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if there wasn't the second issue. Second, when the backlight is all the way up, there is a high pitched buzzing noise comming from the speakers. I've found a coulple other posts that have the same problem but I don't know if it's a defect or an issue that can be fixed. I really like this laptop but these keyboard issues are starting to make me think I need to return it.Thanks.

Solved!

Answer:Acer Aspire R13 backlight keyboard issues

jjsmall009,

As far as the backlight goes, no, you would have to use the keys to turn it off every time.

If you are experiencing a high pitch sound only when the backlight is at full brightness we can have our repair technicians look at the unit for you if you'd like.

I am facing a problem with my less-than-a-year-old Acer Aspire 5943g laptop. Certain keys on the keyboard wont work for some time when I switch on the laptop or when I get it off the sleep mode. These keys are Caps Lock, d, s, h, m, and some more. After 5-10 minutes of frustrating around, pressing random keys, these keys activate and start functioning. However, the cycle repeats itself the next time I switch on my computer.

I googled and found that there are many users out there with similar issues but none have managed to get their issues resolved or at least no one has provided a satisfactory answer so far. In this forum there is a exact same topic but that thread is closed. I would be grateful if those users can suggest me what they ended up doing to cope with this issue.

I checked with the Acer people in Indonesia and they say that I will have to give my laptop and it can take up to 14 working days. I might do that but looking for the last ray of hope through this forum.

Hello, I have a question about the number of button combination pushed at the same time.I've problem in my favourite game with this, because it isn't workinglike on my old notebook. When I press and hold a certain number of buttons some of them doesn't work. So , it's possible to enable more working combination at the same time on my keyboard, or it's the issue of hardware restriction ? Thanks .

Hello, A few months ago I began to have issues with my Acer Aspire V3-571G-9435 where certain keys would intermittently stop working. Most often it would be the "A" key, along with less frequently the "C" and "Z" keys, and somtimes other keys. Within a minute or so they would start working again. A couple weeks ago, however, several of the keys, including the "A" "C" "Z" "F" "," "." and some other keys stopped working altogether (all at once). Following some guides I found online, I took the laptop apart and was able to take the keyboard ribbon cable out of its connector and put it back in, thinking it may be a loose connection issue. However, this did not fix the issue. I went online and ordered a new keyboard from Amazon, thinking the keyboard itself might be broken. After installing the new keyboard however, and entirely NEW set of keys have stopped working, including "J" "Q" "T" "U" "P" "1" and a few other keys. (However most of the keys that weren't working previously are working again). Does anyone have any other suggestions about what I should do? I've been using an external USB keyboard, which works fine, except obviously portability is sacrificed. I'm unsure if this is a hardware or software issue, as a brand new keyboard still isn't working properly. Could there still be something wrong with the connection? Is there a possible software/diver issue? Thanks for any help.

Hi there, Several keys have died on my daughter's V5-473P keyboard. I searched here and all I found were lots of customers complaining about failed keyboards with no answers, so I ordered a $20 replacement keyboard on ebay. My question is about how to remove the top panel/bezel that surrounds the entire keyboard and touchpad? It seems like any effort to use a thin lever to pry it up would damage it... Do I need to come at it from the bottom by removing the motherboard, etc? I'm trying to repair this on the cheap, since it's barely out of warranty and after removing the bottom case, I find it's falling apart around many of the screw holes (the bottom case appears more pricey than the keyboard). Thanks.

Does she use a PS/2 or USB keyboard.

Repair shops, Salvation Army shops, White Elephant sell boards and mouse for as low as $2.00 to $4.00

Be sure it is not the socket... It is rare to very rare that a PS/2 keyboard will fail, bugt common for a USB keyboard to turn belly up.

I need help with an Acer Aspire 7750G-9810 laptop. The keyboard has mostly stopped working. A few symbol keys and the backspace key work as well as the numeric keypad. The letters do not work at all. I had closed the laptop and when I opened it up to use it next the keyboard did not work. I have tried restarting the computer using normal shut down as well as a hard shut down (holding the power button down until it shut off). I have checked the device manager, it shows it is functioning properly. I also checked the driver, it says it is up to date. The touchpad mouse is working. Anyone have any advice on what to do next? I can use the onscreen keyboard or a wireless keyboard.

Answer:Acer Aspire 7750G Keyboard not functioning

Tango-n-Boots,

As long as nothing was spilled or the unit was dropped that would typically mean that the keyboard itself could be defective, the keyboard ribbon could be loose, or the motherboard could be defective. Depending on your level of expertise, you can check the ribbon cable to make sure it did not come loose from the motherboard, otherwise you might have to take the system to a local technician and see about getting some assistance.

I am helping a friend with an Acer Aspire 4330. The problem is some of the keyboard keys produce multiple entries(of varying letter) when pressed. All hardware drivers are updated, however acer shows no keyboard drivers to update. A USB keyboard works fine when plugged in. My question is this: could this be a spyware related issue? I want to make sure before I tear this apart and try cleaning/replacing the keyboard.

Answer:Acer Aspire 4330 keyboard issue

No, it's not malware if an external keyboard works fine. The problem is with the physical keyboard. Before you start replacing parts, find out what happened to it. If someone spilled something on it, the keyboard might not be the only thing damaged. It looks like an old laptop. Not worth sticking much money into.

Maybe it was because the battery ran out. In my defense, it should've been put somewhere visible. In any case, suddenly keys won't work. I can't use the left shift, D, Z, V, N, L and who knows what else. I've done a virus scan and a malware scan and both turned out fine. The only other options I can think of right now are looking for a way to boot in safe mode, finding where the screws are in this thing, or wait for tomorrow to get some compressed air, even though the odds of all those keys getting jammed up by magic flying crumbs seems extremely thin. On a side note, a few weeks before, it would suddenly get stuck on random when I type. Something would turn into sssssssssommeeeeeethiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. It's even worse when you try to correcr it, you'd sometimes end up deleting everything before that word. Edit: Did a run on keyboardtester.comThe faulty keys make a symmetrical layout with the keyboard. "D K Z V N ." and the up and right arrow key.That can't be a coincidence. Aliens?

I have an Acer Aspire E5-571P that I just upgraded the RAM in. Everything is working great, and the RAM is recognized, but the keyboard is no longer working. I've tried rebooting several times, re-connecting the ribbon, heck, even holding the ribbon in the port, but no keys are being recognized at all. USB keyboards work just fine, but not the built in keyboard. The touchpad and power button are also working just fine, just not the keyboard itself. I also tried gently air-dusting the ribbon with no success. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Chances are that the keyboard contacts are wearing out or it is full of dirt, try turning the PC upside down and gently tapping the keyboard, you may be suprised how much dirt comes out of it. You could also get a can of compressed air to blow out all the dirt, but if nothing helps a new keyboard may be the only solution.
